Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Animal science

R. P. Wettemann spends much of his time researching Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Estrous cycle, Animal science and Luteal phase. His Endocrinology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Insulin-like growth factor. R. P. Wettemann is studying Follicle-stimulating hormone, which is a component of Internal medicine.

His Estrous cycle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ovulation and Corpus luteum. R. P. Wettemann works mostly in the field of Animal science, limiting it down to topics relating to Body condition score and, in certain cases, Dry matter, Carcass weight and Condition score, as a part of the same area of interest. His Luteal phase research integrates issues from Ice calving, Beef cattle, Body weight, Pregnancy rate and Body condition.

His most cited work include:

  • Carcass Composition in Mature Hereford Cows: Estimation and Effect on Daily Metabolizable Energy Requirement During Winter (391 citations)
  • Reproductive responses and calf birth and weaning weights as affected by body condition at parturition and postpartum weight gain in primiparous beef cows. (200 citations)
  • Efficacy of an intravaginal progesterone insert and an injection of PGF2alpha for synchronizing estrus and shortening the interval to pregnancy in postpartum beef cows, peripubertal beef heifers, and dairy heifers. (188 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Animal science, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Estrous cycle and Luteal phase. His studies deal with areas such as Ice calving and Grazing as well as Animal science. His research in Ice calving intersects with topics in Body condition score and Endocrine system.

In the field of Endocrinology, his study on Insulin, Corpus luteum, Gonadotropin and Follicular phase overlaps with subjects such as Chemistry. His Estrous cycle study also includes fields such as

  • Ovulation that intertwine with fields like Ovary,
  • Reproduction, which have a strong connection to Purebred and BOAR. The concepts of his Luteal phase study are interwoven with issues in Body weight, Radioimmunoassay, Pregnancy rate and Body condition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (53.00%)
  • Internal medicine (50.00%)
  • Endocrinology (50.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Animal science (53.00%)
  • Luteal phase (27.00%)
  • Endocrinology (50.00%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

R. P. Wettemann focuses on Animal science, Luteal phase, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Ice calving. His study in Animal science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Insulin and Reproduction. As part of the same scientific family, R. P. Wettemann usually focuses on Luteal phase, concentrating on Pregnancy rate and intersecting with Estrus synchronization, Grazing and Pasture.

His study focuses on the intersection of Endocrinology and fields such as Gestation with connections in the field of Sire and Birth weight. In his study, Estrous cycle is inextricably linked to Semen, which falls within the broad field of Sire. His Ice calving research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Coccygeal vein and Endocrine system.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Relationship of ruminal temperature with parturition and estrus of beef cows. (53 citations)
  • Effects of nutrient restriction of bovine dams during early gestation on postnatal growth, carcass and organ characteristics, and gene expression in adipose tissue and muscle. (52 citations)
  • Effects of nutrient restriction of bovine dams during early gestation on postnatal growth and regulation of plasma glucose (19 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Animal science

Gestation, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Animal science and Sire are his primary areas of study. His Gestation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Birth weight, Semen, Coccygeal vein, Blood plasma and Adipose tissue. His Estrous cycle research extends to the thematically linked field of Semen.

The various areas that he examines in his Coccygeal vein study include Late gestation and Endocrine system. His Blood plasma study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Weaning, Insulin and Carbohydrate. His study connects Ice calving and Animal science.
